Damn Gibson fakes

Pretty good vid in that article. I haven't looked at LP's in a while, so good to know what to look out for! :cheers:

The hardest realization is when you play a Chibson and it plays and sounds better than a real Gibson...
have they really went that far downhill? I haven't bought a real Gibson in about 12 years.

In all reality no. I am sure Gibsons QC still is heads and tails beyond the risk you take ordering a Chibson. Awhile back, 12-13 years ago my buddy ordered a Chibson. Pickups were trash, wiring was rats nest. Replaced the nut and it was a totally amazing LP. Stayed in tune, ripped. I truly feel this can happen with any guitars. I do find it strange that, in my opinion, they can clone LP's in feel...but I have played very few that feel like a real Fender.
 
You have to know your shit before you buy anything now days. Not cool with that but someone who has little funds a chibson might be the answer.

One famous fake Gibson I know of is James Hetfield's White V . I believe its on the 1st 3 albums, pretty cool :cool:
